t shirt graveyard 6 - foetus thaw shirt

in honor of my previous foetus post, here is one from the closet: a premium boner-inducing foetus shirt from 1988/9. i got this shirt on ebay back in 1999 or 2000, whenever i was experiencing my first peak of foetus obsession. THAW remains my favorite foetus album, an unparalleled aural excursion into sleaze and pitch black humor that can simultaneously titillate and terrify with the best of them. this shirt is totally rad, i just wish it were a bit bigger, as it's from the era whenever a large shirt fits more like a modern small shirt would now.

a package from uncle jimmy thirlwell

having not taken a ride on the jim thrilwell express in way too many years, i decided to take a plunge and buy up some premium foetus stock like it was going out of style... 

today, i got a nice little package in the mail: 

where is it from, i wonder?

you don't say!  what were the contents?  

why, it was some brand new foetus material...

besides using a spare piece of manorexia or steroid maximus musical notation as printer paper for my address, i also got a huge sticker for the new album, signed by the master of disaster himself...

check out the awesome minimalist artwork for HIDE:

seriously, jg thirlwell's graphic designs are so completely underrated. just look at some of this amazing packaging for LIMB, which was a double cd/dvd package: 

i might as well show off my newly redecorated arcade stick too, since i recently got the urge to  "foetus-ize" that as well...
